Sextortion is where someone tries to blackmail you by telling you to pay up or else they’ll reveal something truly personal about your sexuality or your sex life.
Recent sextortion scams have tried to amplify your fear by throwing a genuine password of yours into the email, or quoting your actual phone number.
The crooks want to you believe that they must have hacked your computer, or else they wouldn’t know that sort of personal data.
Here’s what to do…
(Watch directly on YouTube if the video won’t play here.)
Got the following email on the Aug 7th. Had to laugh. Thought about teasing them and saying I was trying to break into the porn industry and to please release the video. Then figured it would only confirm my email address was valid.
After an incident of sextortion & you deleted all connection with the blackmailer ie hangouts, fb messenger, fb Skype & they didn’t send to you’re friends list, what do you think happens with the intimate videos they snagged of you? Should I be worried about floating around out there still? How do I keep peace of mind? Thoughts?
In the sextortion scam we show here…
…there is no video. (If they really had a video, then they would surely just send you a couple of seconds from that video as proof, instead of rather unconvincingly sending you an password from years ago?)
